Hello, this is Cheoldang Co., Ltd.
The 1-ton drum, also known as the IBC tank, is a versatile container widely used in various industrial facilities for its convenience in storage and transportation.
The 1-ton drum can store a variety of substances, such as liquid food ingredients, cosmetic raw materials, pharmaceuticals, and latex. Recently, it has also been used as agricultural water storage, gaining attention in the agricultural and environmental sectors.
With its advantages in storing various liquid materials and its ease of transportation, it’s popular both domestically and as an export container.
Additionally, the IBC tank is recyclable, which helps significantly reduce costs, making it a popular choice. Many people find it a great alternative, especially if they are concerned about the cost of new containers and prefer semi-finished products.
Important Notes for Export
Due to its ease of transportation, the IBC tank is widely used for export. However, there are essential points to consider during export.
It’s important to note that hazardous materials classified under domestic laws may differ for export, so semi-finished and used cleaned products cannot be used for exporting hazardous substances.
Additionally, semi-finished and used cleaned products cannot receive UN certification, which means it’s essential to use new products for exports to ensure compliance.
This aspect is often misunderstood, leading to customers returning to Cheoldang to purchase new products after learning these details.
Types of 1-Ton Drums
The 1-ton drum is available in four types:
- New Product: Both the inner container and the steel frame are brand new.
- Semi-Finished Product: The inner container is new, but the steel frame is used.
- Used Cleaned Product: Both the inner container and frame are used and cleaned.
- Waste Product: Made entirely from used materials, with the inner container designated as waste material.
The inner containers used for waste products are classified as designated waste and must be processed by government-approved disposal companies.
Where to Process Designated Waste
To dispose of used 1-ton drums, you must use a designated waste processing company, as these containers often stored various hazardous and toxic chemicals, which classifies them as designated waste.
Improper disposal can lead to severe environmental pollution and penalties under strict environmental laws.
Examples of designated waste include waste paint, waste oil, mineral waste, organic solvents, acids, alkalis, toxic substances, and pesticides.
Cheoldang is a certified company approved by the Environmental Protection Agency to collect, transport, process, and recycle designated waste. Therefore, we ensure safe collection and recycling of used IBC tanks, offering them back to the market after thorough cleaning.
